70 years ago when I was a skinny little kid my gran used to make these for me to feed me up and try to put a little weight on me. She never had to tell me twice to eat up.
Simple, traditional, wholesome food you just can't buy off a shelf.
Hi, I made these in my bakery both in the UK and here in Spain for more than 60 years before my retirement. They were ceratinly one om my best sellers- Thanks for watching.
Hi Mr Paul, haven’t done much baking recently unfortunately my beautiful and wonderful wife has passed away after nearly 64 years of marriage. Know I won’t to start again and this is one of my favourite tarts
Sadly Mr Paul died in Spain Sept 2023 from pancreatic cancer
I loved his recipes. Lost my second husband to cancer last year.
60yrs old. 7 yrs younger than me.
Grief has no time line. Our loved ones live within us
Get cooking those custard tarts Brian it will help.
Utube has been a lifesaver for me.

Looks amazing! Takes me back to my youth. I'll share my story with you.... During summer out of school in the 70s I would be in the kitchen with my Grandmother. The other kids ran around riding bikes, playing football, doing all kids of stuff. My Grandmother cooked for a large family who worked on a farm so I always wanted to cook something, particularly something baked which I still enjoy. One day I wanted to bake something (1st time) and she had some old cookbooks in a drawer. She said look through them and I did. I picked out something and looking back now I laugh because when I picked something she looked at it and simply said "why don't you find something else that is a little easier to make" lol. So I flipped through and "Egg Custard Pie" sounded good. I'd never had one and she said she had a frozen pie crust in the freezer and I went to work. I think I was about 10 years old. It baked up beautifully and the house smelled amazing with the nutmeg. My Grandfather and the others came in for lunch and I kept on an on about how I made a pie. He said nothing, he wasn't a hard man but he was a bit no-nonsense and I was hyper I made something. After his meal he wanted dessert (this was just normal man of the 70s to be fed a meal a dessert and walk away from the table). He ate it and I asked how it was...he didn't really say too much from what I recall...maybe he grunted in a good way. Well....a few weeks later he was leaving for the fields to work and she asked him "what do you want today?" (meaning food) and as he put on his hat and walked out the door he turned and said "have the kid make another one them pies!" (the egg custard). I love that story and I made them for him from time to time and they were always simple, amazing and they turned out exactly like yours! (minus the real crust, of course). Cook on!
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
What a beautiful story! I'm not crying you're crying!
I love that story! Your grandfather sounds just like mine; no-nonsense, plain spoken, but there was love there.
@dreampsi2
I loved your story. What a great relaying of that first afternoon, making your first egg custard pie! I can just picture your grandfather making a half-satisfied grunt, finishing up, and walking back out to the fields to start working again.
You must've been walking on air when he asked for another pie! I am glad it spawned a love of baking in you, working side-by-side with your grandma.
Wonderful story.
I do miss him so, R.I.P Mr Paul.
😯
Yeah, finally a non fuss pots custard tart recipe. Easy to follow and none of that irritating background music other channels use. Carry on Mr Paul!
Glad you liked it, background music is one of my pet hates too. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
@redfog42 I agree! I won't subscribe to a channel that includes background music. Too hard to hear what is going on with the verbal instructions, plus, half the time the music is downright annoying!
I shall always think of Lionel in "As Time Goes By" with his custard tarts 🤣💖✨
@celestealskye1 That was SUCH a great show!
Mr Paul died last year from cancer
Mr Paul, I make the custard tarts today and my wife, myself and a neighbour said that they are beautiful, so I said to them, thank Mr Paul for his recipe.
That looks yummy
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US HOW TO AKE THIS BEAUTIFUL TART. I LIVE IN OHIO, USA. MY AUNT KATE USED TO MAKE THIS TART WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, IM NOW 70 YRS OLD.
WATCHING THIS VIDEO BROUGHT BACK WONDERFUL MEMORIES TO ME. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS. IM AM GOING TO MAKE SOME TARTS SOON.
You are so welcome Cathe. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
You sir, are not ‘just an ordinary’ anything, you are a very special and much loved man. God bless you.
This is the recipe I've been looking for the last several years. I remember having these as a child but can't find them anywhere. Now I can just make my own. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy them Linda, Thanks for watching
There hundrednds of recipes Linda don’t be so daft
@@nicholasdobson3185 She means she cannot find them where she lives, and couldn't find a recipe matching her memory of the final product. Don't be so daft, Nicholas.
Decades ago, while visiting London, I encountered another Anerican tourist in a Tesco's. She asked me if I had seen any custard tarts.
Turns out we were both fans of "As Time Goes By," and were curious to try the treat that the late Geoffrey Palmer was always popping off to buy.
I'm going to make one in his honor - and to see whether they're all that.
Just like my Nanas, she made huge roasting dish sized custards, for after Sunday lunch. It was my job to beat the egg and milk mixture, while she made the pastry. Best memories
Mr. Paul, I'm making this right now! Can't wait until it's out of the oven and cooled. I grew up in the southern part of the United States where we have custard pie (out of style now). However, when I made one of these US recipes, it didn't taste likely the lovely custard tarts I'd had in Australia or in Hong Kong. They call for additions of heavy cream or butter in the custard. I miss the texture of the English. I've gotten my scale out to measure it your way and can't wait to be re-united with a real English custard tart! Thank you again, sir!
I am not keen on custard tarts from a supermarket as they don't taste the same. Thank you for sharing this.
Your recipes gave me much comfort during the numerous and seemingly endless lockdowns in the last few years. RIP dear Mr. Paul, and thank you for bringing so much joy to us all.
Hi Mr. Paul, I hope your health has improved considerably. Many thanks for this, very much appreciated from a Durham Lad here in China!
I am actually just 30 but I really love 'classics' I can't wait to make these. As a child I loved custard tarts fresh from the bakery. It's heartbreaking none of the bakery's where I live exist anymore you have to go to the village's that surround my City. I'm grateful for variety but I miss so much like egg and cress sandwiches in a freshly baked roll!
Thank you so much for this recipe. My grandmother was from England. She came to America in 1906. She brought with her many wonderful recipes. She would make us custard frequently. Especially when we were sick. She'd sprinkle a little bit of nutmeg on top. I've made it also over the years and oh, the aroma takes me back to my childhood. I'll have to try this wonderful recipe.
A proper custard tart!
I never seen a tart so smooth! Your technique is the best! Fantastic results! Thank you 😊👍🏽
What an absolute treat to find you Mr. Paul! I've been having mad cravings for some good ole fashioned English food and you are giving me an easy way to satisfy that craving. I'm English living in the States and there is nowhere for 100+ miles that sells anything English! I just watched this today and made it and had a slice and YUUUM!
Thank you.

Welcome to the U.S.! I always wanted to try the English custard tarts. 'As time goes by ' is a favorite U.K. show in the states. Lionel and his custard tarts.lol. it was because of that show I wanted to try them.
A good recipe for Kay's cooking to try.
Now I know why my pastry cracks after taking it out of the fridge! So thanks for the advice… and I love custard tarts so will definitely be making my own soon… Thank you.
Traditional is what I like.
Me too. The simple ones are always the best too, less to go wrong.
i was surprised there was no vanilla in the custard. I always imagined it would be an ingredient. Thanks for the recipe.
Mr Paul, back again to double check on your custard tart recipe and glad to confirm absolutely no place for vanilla in an english egg custard tart!! Happy to see you back in good health, you had us worried a few months back. Hope you are doing well, sir! regards from Catalunya (again). Delicious tarts, I eat mine once just cooled to room temperature. A proper recipe,sir! Thanks again!
Nothing fancy is exactly what I’m looking for! They look absolutely wonderful.
Hi Janet, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
yes
My great-great-granny used to make boiled custard I'm going to have to look at the recipe to see the similarities happy cooking
Still making Mr Paul's recipe's always come out perfect.
This is how my nana used to make them. They look amazing
This is the ONLY and/or BEST custard tart recipe on the electric internet. Listen to this excellent baker.
Wow, thank you Jeremy. Have a Happy Easter.
Gday Mr Paul
Hope your feeling a little better today and weather is good
I have made these before and followed the recipe they were lovely my problem was always the pastry cracking so this time I watched you did as instructed and pastry worked very well started to crack and I kept shaping round and it was great even the leftover pastry
You are an amazing chef Thank you for all you show
everybody ❤
This brings back memories of baking with my Nanna. Thanks for the great recipes.
You're welcome R Farmer. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
We live in Kentucky, USA. My grandmother and mother made this pie for me for my birthday every year since I can remember. It's heavenly.
Moolinex makes things magic ooohhhhh scotch bonnet makes my tongue numb.
I made this 2 days ago and followed your video exactly as you did/said. This was the most delightful custard tart I’ve ever had. Thank you so much for the recipe and tips. I can’t wait to try your others.
Thank you for watching Wessley and for taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/
Thank you for saying that there is no place for vanilla in a custard tart! I have noticed that North Americans seem to add vanilla (or cinnamon) to every single dessert or cake they make! I’ve just made a bread and butter pudding flavoured with nutmeg and I see that all the recipes on UA-cam use vanilla. My grandmother would not be pleased!
So many things to try and so little time to do it in. I think I'll start with these yummy custard tarts and the toad in the hole today. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They're clear, easy to follow and no fancy gadgets needed for the most part. Just perfect, thank you for sharing your *trade secrets* with us all.
Thank you for your comment. It was the so called celebrity chefs that got me started after I retired. They make simple trasks and recipes look so complicated, I think it makes them feel important. I realise some of them are experts if their field. One in particular stands out, he certainly knows his stuff about making bread, but when he starts telling people how to make a pork pie, he's a joke.
@@MrPaulsPantry I agree. I wanted to try my hand at making an apple pie from scratch a couple of years ago (I'm not a fan of cooking and don't like it much so avoid it when I can) but decided to give it a try as I was bored one day. I found a cook book that was in the house, not belonging to me, I might add, a famous *woman* cook (not mentioning any names) and I couldn't even find 'apple pie' in the index. Can't remember what she had it listed under so I gave up, hahaha. I then resorted to youtube to find a recipe and gave that up too in the end. The endless ingredients and faffing about with pastry and make sure you use this ingredient and that ingredient etc. Nothing was ever just straight forward. Then I found your channel and have been eager to try a few things. I'll let you know how I get on. Thank you once again.
Don't forget, these days the shop bought pastry is very good indeed, I always keep some in my freezer for emergencies.
@@MrPaulsPantry I tried that the first time and it tasted like sweaty, cheesy socks, lol. Nah, I'll make my own.
Back to basic British! It’s like a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Thank You
Awesome!! My husband and I enjoyed "As time goes by" and I have been looking for a recipe for Lionel's custard tarts!! Thank you very much! ☺️🇺🇲

We have the same thing in South Africa, but we call it a milk tart and the custard is cooked on the stove top and then added to the pastry, pre baked pastry and set in the fridge to "set".
Thank u so much mr Paul I cannot wait to make this

Very nice.....being a retired baker myself, I am thinking about doing a bit of home baking. I have recently come across a baker's suppliers for ingredients and equipment here where I live in the Philippines, so that has given me the incentive to do some baking. Nice channel, good recipes - delivered in a calm, knowledgeable manner.
Sounds great, I wish you well and hope you'll keep us updated. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I do appreciate that. For more of my recipes go to my website at : mr-pauls-pantry.com/

I have been looking for a traditional English Custard tart like Mum used to make. Cheers and thank you.
I loved to pick these tarts up when living in the UK. I wish fellow Americans were as found of these as I am! 😆
Hi Eric, now you can make your own and enjoy one whenever you wish.
These are the best custard tarts I’ve ever tasted and so easy to make thank you mr Paul.
You are very welcome, I do try to make my recipes easy to follow.
So glad I find your video I always made custard pies with my grandma she would put the eggs into a glass jug whisk with a few big spoons of sugar then fill to top measurement with milk I wanted to find a traditional recipe that looked like the same quantity and I have five it. Can't wait to try
🇬🇧❤️ one of my childhood favourites, love a custard tart 😊
Thanks Mr Paul. Your sir, are a legend!
You are very welcome Lawrence and thank you for taking the time to comment, I really do appreciate it.
